Stink over consumer admitting time's slower (7)
I believe the answer is:
obtuser
'slower' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are comparative adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'stink over consumer admitting time's' is the wordplay.
'stink' becomes 'BO' (body odour).
'over' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'consumer' becomes 'user' (user is a kind of consumer).
'admitting' is an insertion indicator (admit can mean to welcome in or accept).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'bo' in reverse letter order is 'ob'.
'ob'+'user'='obuser'
'obuser' going around 't' is 'OBTUSER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for obtuser that I've seen before include "More dumb" , "Comparatively stupid" , "More insensitive" , "More dull" .)
